Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup packed brown sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 1 large ripe avocado mashed
  • teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chunks

Instructions

  • Start by preheating your oven to 325°F (160°C). While that's warming up, grab your 8×8 inch baking pan. I recommend lightly greasing it and then lining it with parchment paper..
  • Now in a mixing bowl, combine your dry ingredients: cocoa powder, flour, and salt. Give everything a good whisk so it’s all nicely blended.
  • In a clean bowl, whip the eggs, then stir in the granulated and brown sugars, oil, mashed avocado, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and kind of glossy.
  • Then, carefully incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. I usually go slow here, just mix until everything is combined. The batter will be thick and a little fudgy, and that’s exactly what you want.
  • Once that’s mixed, fold in your dark chocolate chunks. I like to keep some aside to sprinkle over the batter just before it goes in the oven.
  • Now pour the batter into your prepped pan and smooth out the top so it bakes evenly. Bake it in the oven for about 45 to 55 minutes until it’s ready.
  • When it’s done, take the pan out and let the brownies cool for about 5 minutes right in the pan. Then, using the parchment paper, carefully lift them onto a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Don’t skip mashing the avocado really well, chunks in your batter won’t be pleasant.
  • Remember, room temp eggs mix way better.
  • Make sure your chocolate chunks aren’t too big, or they might sink.
